A Proposed New Approach for the Assessment of Selected Operating Conditions of the High Voltage Cable Line

Abstract

Calculation models for the selection of cable lines used for expansion and modernization in the energy system and energy transmission planning are recognized tools supporting decision-making in both the energy sector and energy policy. At the same time, the above calculation models contain a large number of correction factors taking into account the temperature of the external environment at various points, the mutual influence of which is not taken into account. This means limitations to today’s common approaches to solutions, especially with regard to the required safety buffer for cable line selection. To meet this challenge, this article presents a parameter that takes into account the change and difference in temperature at various points in the external environment in the analyzed cable line systems. The purpose of this paper was to develop a new approach to the selection of a cable line in order to minimize failure during operation. For this purpose, possible temperature cases that may occur during line operation in different countries and at different rated voltages have been identified. Simulation models for individual cable line layouts were developed and the extreme temperature cases of the line operation for the maximum negative and positive temperature difference between the cable core and the external environment were considered in detail. The development of the curve of the change of the correction factor for the difference in the operating temperature of the cable line will allow for a more precise selection of the cable line parameters and the shortening of the current calculation model in terms of cable selection. In addition, this article presents a comparison of the change in the value of the correction factor from the change in temperature of a selected phase of a cable line system.

Conductor Temperature Monitoring of High-Voltage Cables Based on Electromagnetic-Thermal Coupling Temperature Analysis

“…IEC 60287 is the standard for the equivalent thermal circuit method, which provides a complete analysis method and formula for calculating the load capacity [20]. However, this calculation method does not consider the influence of changes in the external environment and other factors on the correction coefficient [21] and cannot effectively solve physical problems, such as air convection, radiation, and heat transfer coupling. The calculation will generate errors that make the final results deviate from the actual values in multi-loop and complex environments.…”

Methods of Assessing the Effectiveness of Filter Elements in Power Electronics

“…Ferrite plays an important role in defining the parameters of filters that are used at every stage of the life cycle of the device and the facility where such devices are installed [22][23][24]. In order to analyze the method of increasing the effectiveness of selected types of ferrites, the CISPR 17 standard was used [25].…”
